ok, so AGDenton also posted IOReg dumps of a PC X1900 card which he put in his Mac Pro in the secondary PCI-E slot.

I took both dumps and ran them thru a visual diff tool, and then removed all lines which were identical. finally, i added/removed blank lines as necessary so everything will line up in a side-by-side comparison.

i'm hoping this will provide clues as to what values may be missing from our Natit injections which might help the wake-from-sleep situation.

My PC if I put it to sleep and wake it up, no matter how long though, it resumes. HDD Spins up, GFX card fan starts and everything, but the OS is frozen and my cursor keeps spinning. I can move my mouse, but I cant do anything, the OS doesnot respond. As if its hung.

Now that *is* interesting. I wonder whats missing / broken from the 8.8.1 kernel which breaks safe sleep?

Oh, the results of tonights experiments: nothing worked, basically. The SetDisplay thing hung when looking for the display mode, and killing various things had no discernible effect - nothing magically reawakened the video.

I also tried to compile libx86 and a program I found called boot-radeon.c which was written by someone who had the same problem with a radeon card under linux (ie no video on s3 resume), but i couldnt get the libx86 thing to compile. SourceForge reckons its for all UNIXes, including BSD, but i suspect im missing linux-specific headers or something.

I have been doing quite a lot of digging into the matter, and plenty folks in the linux world have similar problems, esp with radeon cards.

I will dump here some links which may be of interest / use. Earlier today I found a link with mention of a specific VESA call which should reinit the video bios at a low level, but i've lost it (i know, im a fool). I will try to find that again and post it.

It had everything working for me with the old kernel. But I had to tinker with 10.4.5 (8.4.1 kernel) to make it work. OS 10.4.3 worked right off the bat. everything worked. Sleep, safe sleep and all that. I can't remember if it was on an IDE or an SATA but I had an SATA drive in at the time. I think it was installed on an SATA drive (OSX) so that SATA talk seems silly. I have an x1600xt with sleep working too.

KIKO do you have sleep working on the new kernel?

My new hackintosh doesn't even support Restart.
How do I fix that? I have an Intel D945GCL board. The board I had all that stuff working on before was a D945PSN.
